Oh, I thought DNS seed was something along the lines of consult a main key domain such as for us devcoin.org or devcoin.com or devcoin.net and fine in its DNS somehow a whole list of IP addresses of nodes various people all over the net on gosh knows what domains of their own are running 24/7 as seed nodes.

So I was envisioning sometihng like maybe look up nodeip###.devcoin.com for values of ### starting at 001 and continuing until you reach one that does not exist, and each one will tell you the IP address of a different node somewhere out on the net.

I guess I will have to look at the code, if our old code even has DNS seeds in it, and based on what I see there look into setting up a bunch of DNS seeds on devcoin.org and devtome.org or whichever devsomething domains it is that I control, then plug into the hostnames used for that the IP addresses of some nodes that people are committing to run 24/7.

Or is that even what it means?

Maybe it isn't really some special tricky use of DNS at all, maybe all they really mean is that if you have the ability to look up names to resolve IP addresses, then you can name nodes in the code instead of having to put their IP addresses?

I am a little wary of doing DNS lookups because I0coin crashes regularly due to trying to look up an IP address, it seems it might be trying to do some kind of lookup by name of some node it somehow heard about, but the boost library crashes when the lookup fails.

It would be nice to know why only I0coin keeps crashing that way so as to avoid our adding of some need to look up names to other coins causing those other coins to start regularly dying like I0coin regularly does.
